If a person gathers all their savings in order to make the pilgrimage, and dies there, what's done with their body? You know the airlines aren't going to refund those return flights, do they switch out the seat for a ride in the baggage compartment?

My uncle died during a pilgrimage from a heart attack (he had prior health issues), you get buried there ideally.

I don't know. I guess they could be buried in Makkah or Medinah.
